The Unus Annus trolley problem. If you do nothing, Mark and Ethan will be crushed by the trolley, but none of the unus annus videos will be deleted. If you pull the lever, all the videos will disappear, but Mark and Ethan will live. Ethan is sleeping peacefully and is unaware of the danger but Mark wants to be hit by the trolley NOT because he's a masochist but just because he wants to see if his body can handle it. Go on.
